Popcaps games offer a level of depth that wii sports and wiifit don't. Theres a certain element of strategy to engage people unlike the wii series which involves shaking a wiimote and...not much else. Popgames are casual, but they offer a glimpse into the gaming world that would get people interested in playing other games. Wiisports is shallow and when you're done you get interested in watching tv or whatever it was you did before. 

As for the thread? Go get it. If I was ashamed of it I wouldn't have posted it to begin with. 

That is based on what... anecdotal evidence? Then who is buying all those Wii games if people get disinterested so fast? You are looking at two options here: Either people get into gaming due to Wii Sports or the Wii has some very avid gamers who all bought hundreds of games.

Shaking the Wiimote in the Wii series games and not much else? Why do you say something that is so evidently wrong?

Wait...

Are you one of those hardcore gamers who lost to his grandma in Wii Sports? Is that it?

But that is all you do in wii sports, you shake the controller. Need to hit a ball? shake the controller. Need to bowl? shake the controller. Need to swing a club. Give it a nice shake. As for people getting into gaming via wii sports. Thats wrong. Compare the numbers after 5 years of this gen we have about 140 million consoles sold between the three. Not significantly more than last gen. Gaming isn't making any great expansions even with the wii, and what gains there are have come from the iphone/droid.
